Pressure testing shotshell

[Jessegreenwood]

Does anyone know anywhere in Canada that pressure tests shotshell reloads?
Thank you

I have never heard of a Canadian pressure testing service for shotshells.
The Pressure Trace system for measuring shotshell pressure with strain gauges is just under $1k US.
The system has two pressure ranges, to 20k psi for shotshells and to 80k psi for rifle.

Has anybody ever pressure tested a shotshell load here in Canada?

Maybe sent the shells "somehow" to the US?

If yes .... how?

There are a couple of places in the US that I know of ... and it is not too expensive.
But how do you get live rounds legally and cost effective across the border?

The gov't lab in Bells Corners does pressure testing. Explosives branch of Mines and Resources, I think.

I used to have them test ammo for me quite regularly.

No idea what the cost would be, today.
